| [00:00.000] | 作曲 : Traditional |
| [00:03.06] | No more chant your old rhymes about old Robin Hood |
| [00:07.13] | His feats I do little admire |
| [00:11.14] | I'll sing the achievements of General Ludd |
| [00:15.10] | Now the hero of Nottinghamshire |
| [00:19.09] | Brave Ludd was to measures of violence unused |
| [00:23.06] | 'till his sufferings became so severe |
| [00:27.03] | That at last to defend his own interest he rose |
| [00:31.04] | And for the great fight did prepare |
| [00:39.02] | The guilty may fear but no vengeance he aims |
| [00:42.24] | At the honest man's life or estate |
| [00:46.17] | His wrath is entirely confined to wide frames |
| [00:50.21] | And to those that would prices abate |
| [00:54.20] | Those engines of mischief were sentenced to die |
| [00:58.17] | By unanimous vote of the trade |
| [01:02.13] | And Ludd who can all opposition defy |
| [01:06.13] | Was the grand executioner made |
| [01:14.10] | And when in the work he destruction employs |
| [01:18.11] | Himself to no method confines |
| [01:22.07] | By fire and by water he gets them destroyed |
| [01:26.07] | For the elements aid his designs |
| [01:30.01] | Whether guarded by soldiers along the highway |
| [01:34.03] | Or closely secured in a room |
| [01:37.23] | He shivers them up by night and by day |
| [01:42.01] | And nothing can soften their doom |
| [01:49.11] | Ye may censure great Ludd's disrespect for the laws |
| [01:53.20] | Who ne'er for a moment reflects |
| [01:57.16] | That foul imposition alone was the cause |
| [02:01.16] | Which produced these unhappy effects |
| [02:05.03] | Let the haughty the humble no longer oppress |
| [02:09.01] | Then shall Ludd sheath his conquering sword |
| [02:13.09] | His grievances instantly meet with redress |
| [02:17.04] | Then peace shall be quickly restored |
| [02:22.24] | Let the wise and the great lend their aid and advice |
| [02:27.05] | Nor e'er their assistance withdraw |
| [02:31.03] | Till full-fashioned work at the old-fashioned price |
| [02:35.05] | Is established by custom and law |
| [02:38.24] | Then the trade when this arduous contest is o'er |
| [02:42.24] | Shall raise in full splendor its head |
| [02:46.21] | And colting and cutting and swearing no more |
| [02:51.01] | Shall deprive all his workers of bread |
